Kids Red Beet And White Bean Hummus

The flavor and smooth and creamy texture of this puree is so delicious I think you’ll find it to be a hit with kids of any age in your house.

Ingredients

Beet

1 Medium

Canned white beans

15 Ounce, rinsed and drained (1 Can)

Garlic clove

1 Large, unpeeled

Lemon

1⁄2 , juiced (1/2 Tablespoon)

Olive oil

1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)

Salt

1 Teaspoon

Directions

1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.
2. Wash beet well and place with garlic clove on a sheet of foil. Bring up sides of foil and fold to make a packet leaving room for heat to circulate inside the packet containing the beet and garlic.
3. Bake for 45 minutes or until beet is tender when poked with a knife.
4. Remove skin off of the garlic and the beet (I use a zip lock bag on my hand and slip the skin off so my hand doesn’t turn red).
5. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth.
6. Serve.
